As for the feedback of switch status. It’s a limitation of st platform at the moment. The platform returns filtered results to the DH. Hence the DH cannot tell if the returned status refers to switch one or two.
If you Are using the single gang. U could use the other DH posted here by @johndoyle. It should track the physical presses properly.
Just chipping in to say my switch is working in the garage, a good 8m from the house, and through two brick walls.
I’ve been noticing a couple of issues where the switch appears to be going into a low-power mode (pure speculation - is this a thing?) or something, where devices using it as a repeater tend to drop. I’ve got an automation switching the light on for 5 minutes every 12 hours to keep it alive, which seems to have fixed it.
I have been using the aqara switches for the past 3 months and they have been working quite well so far. Have installed 10 more and found a trick for pairing. So catchall is the way to go but we don’t need to keep pressing it on and off repeatedly. Simply press the switch down for 5 secs untill the blue light pops up while simultaneously pressing add things on your smartthings to discover devices. You can return back to the main screen on smartthings app after a minute and give it time. After roughly 10 mins or so you will see catchall show up on your events. In the meanwhile you can enjoy a beer or a cup of tea whatever your preference is . I actually pressed atleast 5 switches in the home for new setup pairing mode one after the other and just gave it time. All catch call showed up. They don’t dissappear and will still be there of you come back an hour later or a day later. Simply added the devices and later changed the names on smartthings app based on whichever light it was for. All on all took me 30 minutes to setup 5 switches including setting up DTH. Thanks to @simic and other brilliant folks to make this possible!!
I am trying to set up my wired single gang neutral switch. With simic’s code. I have managed to get it working only half way. When manualy switch on/off
(by hand) I can see status change in Smartthings app. So it looks like pairing is ok. But I can not switch it wirelessly from app. Nothing happens and it get stuck in turningon or turningoff status.
Hey guys, something seems to be wrong with the aqara switches today. There is a lag of over 2 mins in the switches responding to toggle on smartthings. Am I the only one having this issue or someone else also facing challenges with smartthings app? It works perfectly for other devices just the aqara switches is giving issues… Any solutions?
Yes to both…so say your hue is wired to to the switch, it’s dumb. Or you could wire dumb light to the switch, and it will also then trigger the hue through smartthings if in a permanent on lamp .
